struction has been attempted. As funds are made available it is our intention to carry out the original plans for development here. At present a Citizens' Committee is working out a plan for some sort of a Memorial Athletic Field which may become an eventuality on part of this area.
ELL POND EMBANKMENT
On account of greatly increased costs it seems unwise at the moment to complete the present plans for development here. Careful plans are already provided for this area and it is hoped that conditions will arise shortly when this development can be fully completed.
SEWELL WOODS PARK
This natural beauty spot is worthy of greater use and develop- ment. There is an excellent location here for a natural wooded play area. Storm-damaged trees will be repaired or removed and the area kept in good condition.
ELL POND PAVILION
Some time ago plans were prepared and approved for a much needed general pavilion at Ell Pond Point. The plans call for a spa- cious building entirely suitable for winter, as well as summer sports. An appropriation is requested for this much needed improvement.
HORACE MANN PARK
This area requires replanting to a large extent and to some extent the relocation of part of one of the main walks. We hope to do such necessary work there this summer. It was used a great deal for a resting spot and kept in good condition during the past year.
SUPERVISED PLAY
Mr. C. J. Surbeck, who was so successful in supervising the Play- ground Activities the past year, will doubtless be found in the same position this year.
ACTIVE SUPERVISION
If appropriations are sufficient it is our hope and expectation to secure the services of a working executive, who can be in very close working contact with any improvements and upkeep which may de- velop during the coming year. The services of such a man are badly needed.
